| Summary: | "Cold Steel is the story of one of the world's epic corporate takeover battles between steel giants Mittal and Arcelor. At the heart of the story is Lakshmi Mittal, a rags-to-riches billionaire, and Guy Dolle of Arcelor, an elitist Frenchman renowned for getting his own way. Mittal is the biggest producer of steel in the United States and has created the largest steel company the world has ever known." "It's a story of considerable interest to Canadians, because of the implications for Canadian steel. For thousands of residents of steel-dependent Hamilton, Ontario, the takeover played out like a real-life, high-stakes soap opera when Dofasco steelworks found itself in - not one - but two global steel battles. Dofasco had already been the object of a hostile takeover battle between giants Arcelor and ThyssenKrupp. Suddenly Mittal entered the picture. The epic battle was on."--BOOK JACKET |
